Beginning this September, the Brooklyn Charter School will adopt a new extended day schedule. We will be open from 7 A.M. to 7 P.M. There will be no charge for this extended day. You will be able to drop off your child anytime between 7 A.M. and 8:30 A.M. and pick them up between 4 P.M. and 7 P.M. The required instructional day begins at 8:30 a.m. and ends at 4:00 p.m. Supplemental instructional and enrichment activities will occur during the flexible drop off and pick up hours. Since we are just two blocks from the G Train and the B43 and B54 buses, you will be able to drop off your child on your way to work and pick them up on your way home.

MISSION STATEMENT

The Brooklyn Charter School is committed to providing a nurturing and supportive community where all students feel secure, recognize their own potential, respect others regardless of race, religion or culture, and are instilled with the desire to learn and achieve. It is our aim to provide a rigorous academic program supported by the Arts & Technology that cultivates the whole child. Through achievement and creativity, and in partnership with our families, students will develop the necessary confidence, intellectual capacity and leadership skills to prepare them for an evolving global society.

Approach

At The Brooklyn Charter School, we focus on educating the whole child with a proven approach that combines a model core academic curriculum with strong programs in the visual arts, music and dance.

Students

Tailored to meet the needs of individual students, The Brooklyn Charter School’s curriculum combines a model core academic curriculum that reflects existing Common Core Standards and New York State standards with a strong program in the Arts.
